Brock Lesnar would probably be fighting Shane Carwin in the heavyweight category soon.

It would surely be a UFC event that is much awaited among fans of both fighters. Carwin would be interested in such a fight as a way to get the belt as well as to defend it. It would certainly be his dream fight, after which he will retire. For Shane it has been a while that he has been in the Octagon. He was a title challenger before and this time he is thinking of making a return. There was an interview with Carwin where the 41 year old disclosed that he suffered several injuries when he lost out to junior dos Santos in the year 2011.

On the other hand, Brock has other opponents to face. There is rumor that he will be up against Dean Ambrose, who is considered a talented former member of Shield. WWE has probably not utilized his talent to the full. Since The Shield was disassembled the booking of Ambrose has been questioned, but it might be coming up soon.Read more »

Speaking of Brock Lesnar, this professional athlete starred in wrestling for WWE and had a high impact on people and his fans within a short span of time.

He was the winner of the UFC heavyweight championship in his fourth fight of the MMA and defeated Hall of Farmer Randy Couture. This American professional wrestler and mixed martial artist have been said to have signed to WWE. The wrestler is all set to make his appearance felt and is one of the top two highest paid players on the roster.

As far as WrestleMania 33 is concerned, Mr. McMahon, the formal wrestler and American professional wrestling promoter is hell bent on placing Brock Lesnar to play against a superstar Windham Lawrence Rotunda who is no less than anyone. This plan will soon be materialized by Vince McMahon sometime next year in Orlando after considering the contract of Brock Lesnar. If this really happens, then it is going to be one big game for Brock Lesnar. Read more »

Legendary Mixed Martial Artist Anderson Silva suffered his first loss inside the Octagon of the Ultimate Fighting Championship or the UFC when Chris Weidman knocked him out in the second round of their UFC 162 match as he surrendered his UFC Middleweight Championship belt but according to Ed Soares, his manager, the defeat will have no effect in the Brazilian’s standing in the sport in the long run.

Speaking at a radio show, Soares stated that he thinks the loss that he fighter suffered just humanizes him and nothing else. Silva was the most dominant force in the Middleweight division of the UFC for seven years and had been on a 17 match winning streak, 10 of which were for the defense of his Middleweight crown. On occasions, he climbed up to the 205 lbs Light Heavyweight division and came out in flying colors as well.

However, his run was finally brought to a screeching halt as Weidman drilled a stellar left hook onto the Brazilian and battered him to the ground to take the win. And according to Soares, not many people associated with the sport had seen what they saw that night before but he mentioned that it is just a part of the sport that they are associated with.

Soares mentioned that eventually, one has to lose and although it was unfortunate for Anderson to lose that way, in the end, that one defeat will not erase his achievements of the past seven years and he will still be seen as one of the greatest fighters to ever grace the sport. Anderson has been handed an immediate rematch to claim the title back from the American and according to Soares, there was no rematch clause in their contract and the UFC handed him the match because it made most sense.
